RoboRoach is a Canadian animated television series which ran on Teletoon in Canada,[1] Animania HD in the United States,[3] and Fox Kids internationally. The title song was sung by Big Rude Jake.[4] It follows the story of a cockroach named Ruben and his brother Reginald. While scavenging for food, as seen in the opening, Ruben is caught and experimented on. His brother saves him, but when they jump into an electrical outlet, Ruben is transformed into a robot and cockroach cyborg called a roboroach. After that, he swears to use his powers only for the good of everyone and never for personal use, which is unfortunate for Reginald.
